Likewise, no problems with FI at install or anything else for that matter. I realise that's not too helpful though, more like feedback to BFC .

Blood or no blood, matters not to me. What matters to me is knocking out the enemy's armour and if his infantry gets in the way, well they can die with or without blood. Of course we should remember the sage advice 'if it bleeds we can kill it'. Yes it's a Friday night .

I also played the KRG 'teaser' battle the other day and had some fun. Sadly I lost to a Panzer III right at the end, oh well. I've currently switched to your Wacht am Rapido campaign, another great piece of work. So far so good, but I feel pain might be coming... As for aliens, I thought you have them all in Area 51?

Don't forget that the RT demo (and others) are Engine 3, whereas the full games are Engine 4. If it makes a difference to your argument .

Just wanted to record my gratitude to @StieliAlpha for going above and beyond in sending me all of Aris' FI vehicle mods. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated my friend.

Yes I've seen Pete's name on a lot of good things, so it was much appreciated.

LOL, we both are .

I like Juju's UI mod for sure. Plus all of Aris' vehicle mods of course. Oh and the loading screen pictures (Umlaut I think). And Mord's portraits. Plus some others... But you said just one .

I'm ready when you are . Looking forward to it .

Now that is a fantastic service Pete .

I don't have the Flammpanzer version as part of the Big Bundle, and I can't see it on Bootie's pages. I suppose I could try to fire up the editor if it's just a 'simple' matter of swapping out the Panzer 3s tank for tank?

Perhaps but see my edit above, the downloads were happening without me noticing .

Many thanks my friend. The first link worked (the one above, dl=0) but the second kicked me back into the post. Now to install and have a look at your great work, thanks again. And now I look, I have multiple downloads so I think the original links were working but as they put me stright back here I didnt see the download happening. Anyhoo, onwards and upwards, sorry to trouble you...

@Freyberg the pictures look great and well worth a free (LOL) download so I tried clicking the dropbox links but they just plonk me back here? Am I missing something?

A slightly different situation, but my US opponents the other day were strafed by their own P-40. That's probably a representation of real life I suppose.

That will be most welcome thanks @Bootie. The uploading I mean, not the locking down (we have that again in England on Thursday, and probably not before time).

A quick summary of your evening . Being British I normally play as German, but yes it can come down to 'little things' tipping the balance. Well played .

Never liked partisans anyway .

At the risk of replying to myself, my investigations have revealed; Yes the lack of ammo sharing was due to units being from different formations. Yes a single FO can place multiple arty strikes in the set-up phase prior to the first turn- big news to me . Thanks @Erwin and @MOS:96B2P for the wisdom .

Hi Kurt You should be able to install the games in whatever order you like. Are you using the latest full installer downloads from the BFC site for installation? I think that would be the easiest option, rather than installing older versions and patching. This assumes you can log on to BFC and your purchases are recognised of course. Good luck but if in doubt raise a ticket at the Helpdesk.

Wow, I did not know this, how did I miss that! My learning continues... And yes the USS Savanagh is pretty heavy duty so perhaps only FO. I did however read this somewhere, will have to try it in RT, BN and FI and see what happens. Thanks again, much appreciated!

A big hello to you too. Yes it's a bit pricey but as others have said well worth it, if it's your 'thing'. I tried the RT demo, played one battle (Monster Mash) and bought the game the same or next day. It was definitely 'for me'. Since then I've added BN and FI (so far) so enough said. What you say about gore mods reminded me of when I got Silent Hunter 3 quite a few years back. I had to have a mod to show the correct Kriegsmarine flag, and in looking for it came across the Grey Wolves mod, which was immense and more like a new, far better game. The flag was not important in comparison. Anyway, in summary press the Buy button if what others have said hasn't put you off.

Excellent advice, many thanks @MOS:96B2P. I am learning . Don't suppose you have similar advice on my artillery issues in the first post? It was probably just bad execution on my part...

Ah, thanks Erwin. I'll have to check but that may well be the reason. I had MG units with little or no ammo in the same room as split squads or HQs who I had trundled back to an ammo truck and a jeep with lots of ammo. They got back with the right ammo but it wasn't shared, so your explanation is looking likely. On a side note was I right that I have to get a unit back to the ammo truck (I actually mounted it just to make sure) so that they can aquire ammo? I tried parking the truck next to a building with a unit in it but they didn't get anything or have the acquire command become available. Of course it could be the same reason (different formations) again?

I don't have SF2 yet, but this thread and the absolutely beautiful maps are making me think I should get it soon. Great work .
